4 Bedroom Terraced House for sale in London

1 4 1

Guide Price £875,000-£900,000 - A beautifully presented four bedroom Victorian terraced villa in the sought after Bushwood area of Leytonstone. A perfect family home with a large through-reception room, spacious kitchen/diner leading to a generous garden, a stylish family bathroom, double glazed wooden sash windows throughout and gas central heating.
The property stands on a quiet street which benefits from residents’ only parking. As you approach the property, you’ll appreciate the attractive architectural detail of this beautifully designed house. The well maintained façade - which has been recently re-pointed - includes an impressive double height bay window with brick and stone mullions alongside a porch with brick columns and a stone lintel with bold corbels – lending the property an eye-catching first impression. The small front garden has its original attractive brick wall and there is a path of attractive geometric tiles leading to the front door.
The dark grey painted front door has frosted glazed panels, with a beautiful leaded light transom above, which provide natural light for the impressive hallway. As you step into the hallway, you’ll be struck by the clever combination of modern design and original features. There are high ceilings, deep skirting boards, intricate door mouldings and elaborate staircase woodwork – all of which have been given a modern twist with a cohesive all-white theme, including stair treads and risers, and stripped, lime-finished floorboards. The hallway, which provides access to each of the ground floor rooms, includes a curved section of wall which cleverly leads you past the stairs and is a great example of the thought that went into the original design of this classic villa. There’s a door to the right, below the stairs, which leads to a cellar for additional useful storage. The hallway also benefits from a large traditional style column radiator which guarantees a warm welcome for your guests.
As you enter, there’s a fabulous stripped pine door to your left which leads to the spectacular through-lounge. Here, the curved section of wall visible in the hallway becomes a feature which gently guides you into this wonderful bright space. Continuing the design theme of the hallway, there are white walls and stripped, limed floorboards, further enhanced by the spectacular bay window, with its craftsman-built, double glazed sash windows (duplicated throughout the house) and triple matching column radiators. Another modern touch is the fireplace which has been simplified to provide a display niche with light stone hearth – this would look spectacular with a large ornate mirror above. There are two distinct areas to the lounge which are connected via a squared arch, allowing the potential for separate uses if required. The second part of the lounge overlooks the side return of the rear garden and has a slightly more cottage style feel, which would lend itself to formal dining or a more intimate seating area.From the lounge, walk through into the roomy kitchen/diner, which opens out to the rear garden through a set of large French doors – and also to the side return through a part-glazed external door. There are cream finished shaker style cabinets, with dark granite effect worktops, plus a Smeg range cooker with double ovens and six gas rings, making this a real chef’s kitchen. There’s also a stainless steel commercial style sink unit, a stainless steel standalone dishwasher, a washing machine and a retro style Gorenje fridge/freezer. The furthest end of this room opens out to a dining area looking out to the rear garden – the perfect spot for family dining. Walls are finished in white with backsplashes in white ceramic tiles. Flooring is light coloured terracotta style tiles, finishing off this well-designed and fantastically functional space.
Through the French doors now and out into the 40ft west-facing garden. With its many paved areas, mature borders and lawn, this is a truly lovely outdoor space, ideal for lazy evenings with family and friends. At the furthest end is a large garden room measuring in at 16’3” x 7’9”, complete with light and power, this would be ideal as a summer room, office, workshop or studio. The side return area of the garden could make an ideal quiet seating area too, perfect for a well-earned cocktail or escaping with your favourite book.
We’ll re-enter the kitchen through the side return entrance and leave the kitchen/diner through the final door which leads into the far end of the hall, where there’s also a useful built-in storage cupboard and a second door into the lounge. Along the hallway next, and up the stairs to the split level landing. The landing matches the decoration of the majority of the ground floor with more limed floorboards and white walls.
Straight ahead at the end of the landing is bedroom three, which looks out onto the rear garden. This is a double room with space for a double bed, wardrobes and bedside cabinets. Common to all the bedrooms there are more limed floors and white walls, providing a cohesive design effect throughout the house. The west-facing aspect picks up beautiful evening light through the large window and there’s a radiator below.
Return to the landing and the next room, on the right, is bedroom four. This is a small single room, which also houses the combi gas boiler in a built-in cupboard. Currently used as a study, this room would also make an ideal nursery or child’s bedroom and looks out onto the quiet side return area of the house.
The final room on the lower level of the landing is the family bathroom, which has recently been renovated as a smart yet traditional-style space. There’s an Edwardian style 3 piece bathroom suite comprising of a W.C., large pedestal handbasin with high quality, classic design chrome taps, plus a bathtub with shower above and glazed screen. Full height white tiling with a black accent border surrounds the bath, and the floor is stained and sealed in a darker, richer colour than the rest of the rooms on this floor to complement the traditional design of the room.
Two steps take you up to the second level of the landing, where the first door on the right leads to bedroom two. This is a generous double room, which looks out onto the side return of the garden and beyond. There’s room for a comfy double bed, wardrobes and additional furniture to suit your personal needs.
From bedroom two, the landing opens out to provide access to bedroom one. This expansive room occupies the full width of the house and also benefits from a bay window, as well as a second window. With abundant natural light and a modern, fresh design theme, there’s a real sense of space here, highlighting this room’s status as the principal bedroom. The alcoves flanking the chimney breast are the ideal locations for full height wardrobes and the bay window would accommodate a luxurious dressing table or a comfortable chair and side table to form a relaxing nook, looking out onto the street below. There’s still room for a large double bed, bedside cabinets and additional storage furniture, and the impressive wall space would suit some artwork or photos, all finished with a stylish rug to personalise this beautiful retreat.
The ever popular Bushwood area of Leytonstone has a quiet community feel but is blessed with excellent amenities on the doorstep. The property is on a quiet residential street but has easy access to all the services offered by Leytonstone High Road and surrounding areas, including bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Close by are exceptional hospitality businesses such as the quirky Mammoth Tap, The North Star pub, Leytonstone Tavern and La Rioja London tapas restaurant.
